Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place each beet on a square of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tbsp of the olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt. Wrap each beet tightly in the foil and arrange on a baking sheet.

Roast the beets until a paring knife slides through the center with no resistance, 45–55 minutes depending on size. Remove from the oven and let the foil packets rest, still sealed, for 10 minutes.
